Sunday, October 7: National Day for Peace Response
Chicago Mobilizes for Peace
Supporters of a peace response to the attacks of
September 11 will gather this Sunday, October 7, at
Buckingham Fountain in Chicago. Participants will
gather at 5pm to voice opposition to US military
intervention and war.
The candlelight vigil will emphasize six points of
unity:
1. We mourn the victims and condemn the attacks of
September 11.
2. We stand in defense of civil liberties.
3. We oppose anti-Arab, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant
and
all forms of racial, ethnic, and religious violence
and bigotry.
4. We oppose military intervention and war.
5. We seek global peace through social and economic
justice.
6. We support justice not vengeance; bring the
perpetrators to justice through established principles
of international law.
The event will feature live music, prayers, and brief
testimonies on lessons learned from the September 11
tragedy. Sunday's vigil is organized by several
religious and community organizations including the
American Friends Service Committee, Chicago Religious
Leadership Network, Coalition for New Priorities,
National Episcopal Peace Fellowship, Eighth Day Center
for Justice, Illinois Peace Action, SCUPE (Seminary
Consortium for Urban Pastoral Education), and United
Campus Ministries at UIC.
The Sunday event is part of a national call by major
peace organizations committed to nonviolence and
social and economic justice. Simultaneous vigils will
be held in cities throughout the United States,
including New York and Washington, DC (For more

Peace Response Vigil, call (312) 427-2533.
